Brands Nardi

For more than 30 years, Nardi has been designing and producing outdoor furniture tailored to people's well-being and relaxation. Polypropylene and aluminium are the two materials the company has selected as they are totally recyclable and have intrinsic qualities that make them particularly ideal for use in outdoor areas. They are offered in combination with synthetic fabrics and padded elements for outdoor furniture suitable for all needs in thehome and in the contract sector. They stand out for their original design, focus on ergonomics and resistance to weather conditions.

Sustainability

Led by Anna and Floriana Nardi, in 2019 the company, advocating a sustainable approach, created a production line, called Regeneration, dedicated to producing outdoor furniture in post-consumer plastic. Regeneration also allows Nardi to experiment with eco-friendly solutions that can be applied on a large scale to the entire production cycle, from the concept creation of individual furniture items to their packaging. In the same year, Nardi introduced LCA analysis on several products in order to gradually implement further actions to improve its environmental performance.

All Nardi products are entirely made in Chiampo (VI), where the company has its headquarters, at three production sites, designed using state-of-the-art technologies that are also environmentally friendly. At our production facilities, energy-saving hybrid injection presses are installed, where the water used does not become contaminated and no polluting gases or fumes are emitted into the atmosphere. As of January 2023, all Nardi factories use electricity exclusively from certified renewable sources, thanks to a contract that ensures a 100% green supply of energy produced by the Marlengo hydroelectric power plant (Merano, South Tyrol).

For the next three-year period 2023-2025, Nardi has decided on further investments focused on sustainable production: by 2023, a new energy-saving adiabatic system will be completed in the historical production plant called Arso, thus completely eliminating water consumption and using a minimum amount of electricity. Moreover, by 2025, the installation of photovoltaic systems at all Nardi production and administrative sites will also be completed.

Social responsibility

The company believes in a glocal approach: an international vision and a propensity for technological innovation, focused on sustainability, go hand in hand with promoting local resources and organisation structured around a very short supply chain. All in line with Nardi's identity based on original, high-quality designer products made in Italy.

The relationships, interaction and importance of the team are the basis of relations with all collaborators. Moreover, the company is constantly striving for a positive, proactive working environment, where everyone can express their full potential.

All company achievements are the result of the commitment and work of each individual collaborator, each one in his/her own field, which is why Nardi also actively promotes company welfare policies. Within this perspective, the company firmly supports the local area through its social responsibility initiatives, particularly regarding young people. For Nardi, ‘doing business’ also means building relationships that create value, spreading culture, establishing partnerships and synergies intended to enhance the environment and human capital, especially through investments in younger generations that represent the future.

Markets

Nardi has always operated in international markets, which account for 80% of its turnover in both the retail and contract sectors. The company currently does business in 115 countries worldwide, supported by its widespread organisation and sales network, which has led the company to establish itself as an industry leader in Italy in terms of turnover.
